Nuts And Bolts歌词

[00:00.10]Now, the VOA Special English program,
[00:14.71]WORDS AND THEIR STORIES.
[00:18.05]Every machine is held together
[00:22.96]by its nuts and bolts.
[00:25.06]Without them,
[00:26.46]the machine would fall apart.
[00:29.21]That is also true of an organization.
[00:33.27]Its nuts and bolts are its basic,
[00:37.01]necessary elements.
[00:38.97]They are the parts that
[00:41.20]make the organization work.
[00:43.09]In government, industry, diplomacy
[00:47.19]-- in most anything
[00:48.89]-- those who understand the nuts
[00:52.13]and bolts are the most important.
[00:55.14]Success depends more on them
[00:58.57]than on almost anyone else.
[01:02.02]In government, the president
[01:05.71]or prime minister may plan
[01:08.55]and shape programs and policies.
[01:12.04]But, it takes much more work
[01:15.30]to get them approved and
[01:17.56]to make them successful.
[01:19.62]There is a mass of detailed work
[01:23.32]to be done.The nuts and bolts.
[01:26.36]This is often put into
[01:29.41]the hands of specialists.
[01:31.38]The top leaders are always well-known,
[01:35.44]but not those who work
[01:38.19]with the nuts and bolts.
[01:40.19]This is equally true
[01:43.49]in the day-to-day operation of Congress.
[01:47.64]The majority leader of the Senate
[01:50.89]and the Speaker of the House of Representatives,
[01:55.44]together with the chairmen of committees,
[01:58.43]keep the business of Congress moving.
[02:01.23]Behind every Senator and Congressman,
[02:05.74]however, are assistants.
[02:08.27]These people do all the detailed work
[02:12.47]to prepare congressmen
[02:13.91]to vote wisely on each issue.
[02:17.21]In diplomacy, the chief ministers
[02:21.64]are unquestionably important in negotiations.
[02:25.78]But there are lesser officials
[02:28.17]who do the basic work and preparations
[02:32.07]on the different issues to be negotiated.
[02:36.57]A recent book tells of
[02:39.81]a British prime minister
[02:41.86]who decided to send an ambassador
[02:44.50]to Washington to learn
[02:46.54]if details could be worked out
[02:49.13]for joint action on an issue.
[02:52.67]The talks in Washington,
[02:55.01]the minister said,
[02:56.70]would be "of nut and bolts."
[02:59.78]He meant, of course,
[03:01.72]the talks would concern
[03:03.72]all the necessary elements
[03:05.95]to make joint action successful.
[03:09.57]In a military operation,
[03:12.02]strategy decisions are important.
[03:14.61]But much more time is spent
[03:17.61]on the nuts and bolts
[03:19.76]-- generally called logistics
[03:22.01]-- of how to transport and supply an army.
[03:26.20]It has been said that Napoleon
[03:29.38]was successful because he knew
[03:32.48]the field position of every one of his guns.
[03:36.87]He gave careful attention
[03:39.57]to the nuts and bolts of his operations.
[03:43.10]The extreme importance of nuts
[03:46.75]and bolts was expressed
[03:49.25]by the Elizabethan poet,
[03:50.94]George Herbert. He wrote:
[03:53.31]For want of a nail, the shoe is lost
[03:58.21]For want of a shoe, the horse is lost
[04:02.64]For want of a horse, the rider is lost.
[04:06.77]Benjamin franklin carried
[04:10.49]these lines even further. He wrote:
[04:13.80]For want of a rider, the battle was lost
[04:18.69]For want of a battle, the kingdom was lost
[04:22.54]And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.
